At the critical juncture of the final year of the "Beijing Nursing Development Implementation Plan (2021-2025)" and the "Beijing Action Plan to Further Improve Nursing Services (2023-2025)", the Nursing Management Professional Committee of the Beijing Nursing Association successfully launched the first workshop of the 2025 "Touyan Training Camp" management training project at the Civil Aviation General Hospital on May 28. The project closely adheres to the goal of "passing on the torch, empowering management, and creating a pioneer area for high-quality development at the grassroots level". It aims to cultivate a group of new head nurses with excellent leadership for grassroots medical institutions in Beijing. They will use the "head goose" to lead the "flock of wild geese" to fly together, and promote the coordinated development of regional nursing management and the improvement of service capabilities.
This issue of "Touyan Training Camp" focuses precisely on the group of young head nurses who have served for less than three years. Fifty trainees recommended by nursing quality control centers in 10 districts gathered together to start their journey of improving their management capabilities. The project was carefully planned and deployed by the Nursing Management Professional Committee of the Beijing Nursing Society. The first workshop was chaired by Wang Lijun, deputy chairman of the committee and director of the Nursing Department of Civil Aviation General Hospital.
At the opening ceremony, Ding Yanming, chairman of the Nursing Management Professional Committee, gave an in-depth explanation of the background and far-reaching significance of the "Touyan Training Camp". She pointed out that launching the project in the final year of the policy is an important measure to respond to the requirements of "strengthening the foundation, improving quality, and promoting development" and deepening grassroots assistance. She introduced that the workshop will integrate head nurses’ experience sharing, in-depth case studies, on-site visits and exchanges and other forms to achieve a close integration of theory and practice. She encouraged the trainees to cherish the opportunity, grow quickly, and truly play the role of "head goose" in the future, leading the nursing team to fly high.
Vice President Yang Yue of the Civil Aviation General Hospital delivered a speech from the dual perspectives of a doctor and department director. She highly affirmed the core position of the head nurse as the "leader of the nursing discipline" and emphasized that the high-quality development of the department is inseparable from the sincere cooperation between the head nurse and the department director. Dean Yang pointed out that the core responsibility of managers is to "lead the team and educate talents." She sincerely hopes that the new head nurses can lead by example, have the courage to take on their responsibilities, continuously strengthen their own construction, and ultimately forge an excellent nursing team that can fight hard and win battles.
The first phase of the workshop focused on the "role change" that new head nurses commonly face, and invited four outstanding representative young head nurses to share their benchmarking experience, providing trainees with valuable practical wisdom.
Head nurse Cao Peiye of the Renal Ward of Peking University People's Hospital took the title "Nurse Role Change and Self-Growth" and frankly shared the challenges she encountered when she first took up a management position. She introduced in detail how to use the management by objectives method to formulate and implement effective team development strategies, and ultimately led the team to achieve remarkable results, which opened up management ideas for the trainees.
Li Qian, head nurse of the Neurosurgery Epilepsy Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, focused on "From Clinical Backbone to Management Expert – Thinking Breakthroughs in the Role Transformation of Head Nurses". Combining vivid examples, she deeply analyzed the key to accurate role positioning, the five dimensions of thinking to achieve breakthroughs, the four core competencies that urgently need to be improved, and the application skills of practical management tools. She also warned about common misunderstandings during the transformation period. The content is very instructive.
Wang Yanchao, head nurse of the Central Operating Room of Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, took the title "My Growth" and affectionately explained the true meaning of "persistence and hard work" and "dreams and dedication" on the career development path. Through profound "review and reflection", it aroused the resonance and in-depth reflection of the students present on their own growth paths.
Xiao Wenwen, head nurse of the operating room of the Civil Aviation General Hospital, gave a passionate lecture titled "Meeting the Light, Chasing the Light, and Becoming the Light: The Leadership Growth Path of Young Nurse Heads in 10 Years." Through her ten years of leadership practice, she systematically shared how to use management logic to solve practical problems, successfully achieving a comprehensive improvement in responsibility, communication art, relationship building and self-awareness, and inspiring students to continue working hard for the lofty mission they shoulder.
With their real growth experiences and effective management practices, the four speakers fully demonstrated the demonstration and leadership power of the "goose effect" and set an example for new head nurses to learn from.
In the case discussion and hospital visit exchange sessions, the trainees combined the shared content with their own work practices, actively spoke and discussed enthusiastically, and the collision of ideas aroused strong resonance. This kind of in-depth interaction and immersive learning accurately empowered 50 new head nurses at the grassroots level, effectively promoting the exchange of management experience and the improvement of practical capabilities.
The following three workshops of the "Touyan Training Camp" will be held in succession at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, and the Seventh Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. The Nursing Management Professional Committee of the Beijing Nursing Association will continue to gather high-quality resources in the industry, with "management empowerment" as the core focus, and is committed to building the "Touyan Training Camp" into a brand project with wide influence, injecting strong impetus into consolidating the foundation of grassroots nursing management and promoting Beijing's nursing industry on a new journey of high-quality development.
